Summary:

In summary, processing is made up of many different stages that require actively working through them to gain a better self awareness as well as a clearer perspective of our true thoughts and feelings. Self awareness is an ideal area to grow in because it allows us to be well informed about why we do the things we do. In essence, coping skills can become healthier habits that replace destructive or unhelpful ones, which can help you thrive in life and in stressful situations.
